Hello I have a 6 month old barrel aged sour cherry beer on tap. I would like to bottle this and store at room temp. Will this create a pottenial bottle bomb problemor is everything dead? Also have a porter that was barrel aged and started to sour so it was pulled and kegged, What about this...

Just wondering how this recipe turned out. Looking to clone this beer myself

Oak spirials for oak aging beer.

Hello I just read an article that said the spirals should float on the beer. Using 2 of these in a 5 gallon secondary will not let this happen unless broken into chunks. It this important? I could put in a 6.5 carboy if needed and purge head space with co 2 .

Hello I have a barley wine that I will be putting in a 53 gallon Bourbon Barrel. I am wondering what will happen it the barrel gets anywhere from 60 to 85 degrees. This would be stored in my shop and doors open. March now and will age 6 months. I see 60 is best. Thoughts please

It says on the package food grade urea and diammonium Phosphate. And maybe since it was just crystals and not liquid it wont break down. It is a black ipa at 94 ibu 7.5% so maybe the will mask it !!

Hello All In a hurry is not good. I have never used a yeast nutrient before, so this was a first. In a hurry to get the wort in the chamber and get done for the night. I misread the label of LD carlson yeast nutrient. I added almost 5 table spoons instead tea spoon. But I added it after the...

I put the jerky in the secondary. I keg

I brewed a porter with homemade beef jerky. Worked very well just to much garlic. Will do it again but with less garlic. Great head retention

Do you also let the pump run at all during the mash? I have heard it can help clear up the wort and maybe increase efficiency.

No it is not the only purpose to chill the wort. The pump will be used for recirculating the mash to keep even temps. I do BIAB and have a false bottom in my keggle. The bottom keeps the bag off the bottom. Since the pump already has wort in it and sterile, I just thought it would be easier to...

Dont see post

Hello All I recently made a sparge arm for my keggle much like the More Beer ultimate sparge arm. I was wondering can I use this and a wort immersion chiller and a pump to cool the wort? I would like to set it up and let the pump and arm do the work. I usually run the chiller and mix around...

Hello I am wondering about krausen with all grain BIAB. I have been doing extract for a couple years. Switched to BIAB this year. I read about a lot of people using blow off tube and such. Since I have been doing BIAB my beers have been better. But a lot less krausen maybe an inch but not much...

well whole day was a bit of a stretch . But it does take longer then extract. So I am starting with BIAB so I can make what I want.

I like simple. I have done about 50 extract brews in 2 yrs. All grain will come some day. I just don't want to have a whole day planned to brew. I will go all again if I find a few house beers I cant live without and make 10 gallon batches. But I like variety so I only do 5 gallon. Hope to do...

Picture of my new brew rig.

Hello Yes the valve is on the side of the keggle. I am not sure if I will be adding a dip tube to it. I may just tip it as I transfer to the carboy.If I do I plan to add a tube I will keep it off the bottom so I leave the hop material that is passed. I dont mind if any passes as I know it will...

Hello All Ok I am going from extract to BIAB. I have a keggle now and plan on doing 5 gallon batches. I have a ball valve in the bottom. I also purchased a false bottom that covers the whole bottom of the keg, with the valve under the screen. I plan to leave the bottom in during the mash. I may...
